Easy For You to Say Stan

Sometimes when people keep talking about men in the music industry and what is missing, I keep coming back to the way that the answer to a lot of that is 5sos. You want whiny vocals? 5sos. Male yearning? 5sos. A fun live show? 5sos. Doesn't release the same style over and over? 5sos. More lyricism? 5sos. Music that can be stripped down and still sound good? 5sos. An overall unserious vibe that makes you forget the lead singer looks like an angel? 5sos. More social commentary? 5sos. A commitment to charity work that usually even boosts other artists? 5sos. What you crave is 5 seconds of summer.

And they do all that while never diminishing the power of their mostly female fan base, being weirdly self aware for people who have been under the spotlight for most of their lives, and extremely unapologetic about who they are individually and how that makes the band better. And they seem to genuinely have fun and like each other.
